Involved as a Mentor

Being a PROMISE Mentor

Information for potential PROMISE mentors

Mentors serve as guides by facilitating learning and providing direction for the PROMISE intern. The mentor-mentee relationship helps to build rapport, trust, and shared power allowing the team to co-create a robust, transformative learning, eight-week summer experience.

PROMISE is important for OSU and Oregon communities because many PROMISE alumni become leaders in Oregon and beyond. This is also a powerful way we continue to build OSU’s great community and network of professionals. Also, many of our previous mentors have developed long-term working relationships with their interns, and even continued interns on for hire post-internship. Internship sites will contribute $2,500 for the student's Experiential Learning Award.
